The 20-minutes Docker 1.12 Swarm Mode demonstration on Azure Platform

2016 has been a great year for Docker Inc. With the announcement of Docker 1.12 release in last Dockercon, a new generation Docker clustering & distributed system was born. With an optional “Swarm Mode” feature rightly integrated into core Docker Engine, a native management of a cluster of Docker Engines, orchestration, decentralized design, service and application deployment, scaling, rolling updates, desired state reconciliation, multi-host networking, service discovery and routing mesh implementation – all of these features works flawlessly. With the recent Engine 1.12.5 release, all of these features have matured enough to make it production ready.

Under this blog post, I will be spending another 20-minutes to go quickly through the complete A-Z tutorial around Swarm Mode covering the important features like Orchestration, Scaling, Routing Mesh, Overlay Networking, Rolling Updates etc.
